Chicago Chapter #27, USA
Ikebana Book Club
Our Chapter held its last meeting of the year with a background of fall colors at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The Book Club Program was based on the booklist we came up with during the pandemic (Stay Home for Ikebana). Members brought books they found valuable in learning Ikebana and shared them with the others. Over twenty books were on display, including Sogetsu, Ohara and Ikenobo. One member had just come back from Japan, visiting both Sogetsu and Ohara Headquarters. She brought a couple of books to share. The attendees had a great response and the discussion ran over time.
